After looking frantically enough to work up a sweat, I calmed down a bit, contemplating my next plan of attack. Should I make another center, should I wait until tonight after the meeting? SHould I make another center JUST in case I can't find the center at the Post? oh, decisions, decisions!
As I am pondering my next move ... what shall I do? Is it time for a cigarette out in the shop? Maybe the cattle need watered ... I happened to look up at my - - what is that board called where you put things on to look at for awhile? It is insulation board covered with flannel? You know what I mean? I had been eyeing that carpenter's wheel block hanging there for weeks, but they weren't as good as the one I wanted to send.
FINALLY! I decided ... from a distance, and in the dark, that block looked pretty good, so I might as well use it ... and hate myself for the rest of my life because I am such a dweeb!
I unpinned the block, set it up on the lounger to take a picture, and did a double take ... why that block looked EXACTLY like the block I wanted to use! closer look .... hmmm, that IS the block I wanted to use! Well, isn't that just wonderful????
it is one of those moments where I thought I was wrong, but I had made a mistake .... wouldn't you LOVE to spend a week around me???? ROFLOL
